[09:18] dont be nervous man [09:18] not sure, but i've also seen that and wondered [09:18] does Thunderbird even do IRC? [09:18] i don't think it does [09:19] i saw it has a chat googie in the mail [09:19] goodie [09:19] irc and jabber [09:19] oh yeah [09:19] maybe ill try from here [09:19] cool [09:20] it does Facebook, Google Talk, IRC, Twitter and XMPP protocols. Nice! [09:20] i have enough options for IM clients though [09:20] and i may prefer to keep Thunderbird for mail [09:21] shows fb and twitter too [09:22] ohi [09:23] hehe it works [09:24] wonder why maia stopped using weechat in favour of the thunderbird [09:24] must have some advantage [09:24] hi meters [09:25] hey Kilos [09:25] haha and it makes a little ploep sound [09:25] only one piece of software open at a time [09:26] no it opens a full page over the mails [09:27] ok toods all [09:29] similar looks to xchat [09:29] not a tab in thunderbird? [09:30] nope a full page [09:30] didnt look if you can shrink it [09:30] im happy with xchat and konversation === Kilos is now known as meters === meters is now known as Kilos [09:42] before someone steals that nick [09:45] it seemed to open as a tab for me [09:45] but i didn't have any chat accounts set up [09:45] so i can't really say :/ [09:45] set up and see [09:45] ah, k :p [09:45] i'll take your word for it :) [09:45] hehe it open a small window till setup [09:46] then opened page to chat.freenode.net [09:49] >.< [09:56] must have some advantage otherwise clever peeps wont use it [09:58] you assume the peeps be clever [09:58] maiabe very clever [09:58] but not everyone has 10 workspaces like me [09:59] let me go see what it is about [10:01] just set up my twitter to run through it, opens in a tab for me, almost like you could use as an os [10:02] do you have it installed or use online [10:02] i get pop mails here not the imap thing [10:05] oh ya i see now [10:06] sorry guys [10:08] ? [10:09] its in a tab here too [10:09] thats quite cool [10:10] ah :) [10:11] hehe it even shows the smileys [10:11] <3 [10:15] haha hi thundermage [10:15] cool beans good to know how that works, wonder if i can get it to connect to the quasselcore [10:16] so now we know why the clever peeps use it [10:17] yeah good idea [10:18] magespawn: not unless they implement the Quassel protocol. [10:18] maia not a kde user [10:18] might be a suggestion to mozilla [10:19] magespawn, if you wanna save that nick group it [10:20] otherwise next week someone else has it [10:20] quite a cool nick === magespawn is now known as thundermage === thundermage is now known as magespawn [10:26] so fast? === theblazehen is now known as thundermage [10:34] hehe [10:34] didnt it tell you the nick is registered [10:35] maybe i did something wrong [10:35] you gotta /msg niclserv group nick [10:35] ai! [10:36] /msg nickserv group nick === Cantide is now known as CanEat [10:37] see it is registered to me [10:38] i assumed nickserv would ask for the password [10:39] once grouped it asks you to identify [10:39] so then it should ask theblazehen for a password === magespawn is now known as thundermage === thundermage is now known as magespawn [10:42] gotta go out later all [10:43] go well magespawn === CanEat is now known as Cantide [11:23] hi space === jeandre_ is now known as theblazehen === theblazehen is now known as theblazehen1 === theblazehen1 is now known as theblazehen [11:52] very interesting project: http://www.trsst.com/ [11:57] yeah [11:57] i like how suddenly everyone is on this encryption bandwagon :D [11:57] also, it seems to bring Linux a little more attention [12:40] Buy all have a great evening [12:52] Cantide: at least, on the one side, this whole nsa "scandal" has a positive side [12:54] yeah [13:05] * inetpro dreaming of a day where everyone uses standardised cross platform authentication mechanisms [13:21] yeah for sure [14:39] hey guys, what is a good email client to use on tablets [14:39] ah [14:39] Maaz, what email client to use on tablets [14:39] Kilos: *blink* [14:39] ai!

[16:49] ya [16:49] why not simply use the gmail app as an email client? [16:49] load ubuntu on the tablet? [16:49] because she has a vodamail account too [16:50] i opened her gmail account [16:50] that is dof [16:50] set her voda mails to forward automagically to gmail [16:50] thats what voda offered when she got fones that can do mail [16:51] oh i can look at that maybe ya [16:51] it is called lock-in [16:51] don't ever do that [16:51] but going there stinks [16:51] dont ever do what? [16:52] don't use your service providers email services [16:52] they all suck [16:52] yeah [16:53] before i had managed to get the password changed it had used 10m data just going page to page [16:54] and you wait 30 mins before it becomes active after 4 tries [16:54] and it complicates your life immeasurably when you decide to jump ship to another service provider [16:54] 30 mins each try that is [16:54] vodamail is all she had before i made her gmail account [16:55] but if k9 can fetch vodamail shell be happy [16:55] k9?

[18:27] halo [18:27] kbmonkey: wb [18:27] thanks inetpro [18:28] I got my gsm-wifi device from afrihost today. yeehaa. [18:29] just have not got it connecting via usb yet. wifi works fine via laptop :] [18:30] kbmonkey: what did you get? [18:32] inetpro, that offer that went last week at http://www.afrihost.com/landing/mobile_data_preorder/ [18:32] hmm... [18:34] another useless buzzword [18:34] mifi [18:34] gsm-wifi is much more descriptive [18:35] wifi = wifi [18:35] what's the diffs? [18:36] wb nocware [18:36] sup [18:36] inetpro, I remember when wifi was a buzzword :D [18:37] nocware: wb [18:38] pyweek starts on Sunday ;) [18:38] kbmonkey: there's an accepted standard behind wifi [18:39] inetpro: thanks [18:40] baked some muffins earlier. yum. [18:42] kbmonkey: anyway I hope you'll be happy with that device [18:42] let us know how it goes [18:42] kbmonkey: but please explain that 2+3GB option [18:44] inetpro, I'll just be happy to get net access, however it comes ;) [18:44] why do they say 2+3? [18:44] it is a 2GB data plan, and for the next 6 months they are adding an extra 3G as promotion [18:46] ahh [18:46] so you signed a contract? [18:46] for 24 months? [18:46] no, it is month to month, no contract [18:46] cool [18:47] whats coolll ggrrrrrr [18:47] both modems showed they could connect but no xchat or pidgin [18:47] grrr [18:47] grrrr? [18:49] hi kbmonkey [18:49] grrrroooowl [18:49] like an angry dawg [18:50] Kilos: kbmonkey got himself a new deal for connectivity to the interwebs [18:50] aha [18:50] at 2.9c per MB for the next 6 months it's not bad [18:51] thats good [18:51] that is less than a chappie bubblegum [18:51] lol [18:52] look what message ian is getting on kde [18:52] (18:37:06) Iany: You are banned from this server- Your host is an open proxy (HTTP CONNECT (8080)). Email proxyscan@freenode.net [18:52] Kilos, what is that blue screen of CentOS you spoke of? [18:53] blue is blue like the sky [18:53] oh, not as a blue error screen? ;) [18:53] i fixed it it be tentacles now [18:53] lol [18:53] nice [18:53] no not the blue screen of death like winsucks [18:53] open proxy? huh? he is not running a tor node is he? [18:53] freenode blocks those [18:54] i dont think he knows about tor [18:54] and says he never changed any network settings [18:56] Kilos: on the cli let him run 'lsof -i:8080' [18:56] that should tell you the service that is running on port 8080 [18:56] he just gave me a pile of it trying to connect [18:56] he has things wrong for starters [18:57] Kilos: ohh..totally forgot.Boot repair didn't help. Did the recommended fix...now all i get is Read error it didn't make it worse than before...thinking of creating a boot partition. [18:58] oh my nocware [18:59] I'm out of options.. [18:59] it is worrying *why* Ian's pc has that port open [19:00] having grub problems nocware ? [19:00] i think so..already re-installed grub [19:01] no use [19:04] (21:03:33) Iany: You are banned from this server- Your host is an open proxy (HTTP CONNECT (8080)). Email proxyscan@freenode.net when corrected. (2013/8/29 12.35) [19:04] * Closing Link: 8ta-150-247-111.telkomadsl.co.za (*** Banned ) [19:04] its something else causing it [19:04] xchat said its using port 8001 [19:04] somewhere proxy settings [19:04] Kilos, get him to run the command inetpro suggested [19:04] in kde [19:05] sec [19:05] something is serving a connection on that port. freenode checks for such things. [19:06] see http://freenode.net/policy.shtml#proxies for their explination [19:06] will get him to look at that over weekend i hope [19:07] lsof -i:8080 does nothing [19:08] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6039275/ [19:08] i remember one okey here said i must try some proxy settings to use less data and that crashed my kde as well [19:09] may be trivial, but can you try run that again as sudo, Kilos ? [19:10] aha\ [19:11] hmm, it sounds flakey to change proxy settings to "use less data". [19:12] if you had a caching proxy setup it would work [19:12] will paste his result on my channel [19:12] yes like squid. but Ian won't have a caching proxy now, would he? [19:12] ##kilos kbmonkey [19:13] ok here comes spam sorry [19:13] COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME [19:13] havp 1895 havp 3u IPv4 5061 0t0 TCP *:http-alt (LISTEN) [19:13] havp 1896 havp 3u IPv4 5061 0t0 TCP *:http-alt (LISTEN) [19:13] havp 1900 havp 3u IPv4 5061 0t0 TCP *:http-alt (LISTEN) [19:13] havp 1902 havp 3u IPv4 5061 0t0 TCP *:http-alt (LISTEN) [19:13] havp 1904 havp 3u IPv4 5061 0t0 TCP *:http-alt (LISTEN) [19:13] havp 1906 havp 3u IPv4 5061 0t0 TCP *:http-alt (LISTEN) [19:13] havp 1910 havp 3u IPv4 5061 0t0 TCP *:http-alt (LISTEN) [19:13] havp 6531 havp 3u IPv4 5061 0t0 TCP *:http-alt (LISTEN) [19:13] havp 6533 havp 3u IPv4 5061 0t0 TCP *:http-alt (LISTEN) [19:14] hmm [19:14] havp? [19:14] he running HTTP antivirus proxy? [19:14] why? [19:15] sec ill ask [19:15] so 8080 would be an alternate for port 80 then? [19:16] magespawn: no [19:17] okay i am missing something then [19:18] magespawn: read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxy_server [19:19] ty [19:19] he says all else running is skype and firefox [19:20] Kilos: why is he running havp? [19:20] what is it?? [19:20] he he doesn't know then he should stop and or uninstall it [19:20] if he doesn't know* [19:20] nocware, I do not see anything wrong with your grub config. possible that note at the end about making a boot partition could be the cause [19:21] is havp an app inetpro [19:21] normally it is not an issue, but perhaps in certain configurations? it is not an ssd? or is your drive mode in bios set to AHCI? [19:22] aptitude search havp [19:22] my debian repo does not have havp, but google says it is an anti virus proxy with ClamAV scanner... [19:22] Kilos: most likely a service that he chose to install for some reason [19:23] it is in the ubuntu repositories [19:23] see clamsmtp in apt [19:23] ok lemme do lotsa removes [19:23] or it is a service that was installed as a dependency of something else [19:24] ? [19:24] no need to have a virus scanner installed unless it is a mail server forwarding messages to clients with ThatOS(tm) ;) [19:24] he has no idea [19:24] inetpro: why the 8080 port though? [19:24] hehe [19:25] ? [19:25] my ibid opens port 8080 as well [19:25] magespawn: that is probably the default port used by havp [19:25] right need to read about havp then [19:25] many proxy servers use 8080 by default [19:26] to protect against attacks coming in on port 80 (normal http port)? [19:27] magespawn: no [19:28] a proxy is typically used on the inside of a network to handle all web requests on behalf of network clients [19:28] the proxy server should typically not be accessible from the outside [19:28] clamsmtp is installed [19:28] what is it for [19:28] can he remove? [19:30] ClamSMTP is an SMTP proxy daemon that checks for viruses using the ClamAV anti-virus software [19:30] we can safely say that pacakge is not installed by default [19:30] aha [19:30] I vote you remove it. [19:32] i told him to [19:32] i want him to come to classes with us now this [19:32] banned from irc ai! [19:34] say, can anybody here build python code into win32 exe's? [19:34] kbmonkey: I haven't created the boot partition yet, i think its not ssd and i'll check the bios drive mode. [19:34] lol [19:34] I'm failing to setup a WINE environment to do this :p [19:35] I do not think it is a permanent ban Kilos, once that port is closed he should be okay [19:36] yeah hes never caused any probs on irc so its that proxy thing [19:36] Kilos: anything that is not installed by default or anything that is not consciously installed afterwards (with the correct configuration) should be removed [19:36] may be worth checking after removal if that port was removed from the firewall white list [19:36] he cant remember what where why or how [19:37] lol, it happens on those lazy days when one browses the apt packages ;) [19:37] lol [19:38] always check the open ports on your PC and make sure you know what they are open for [19:38] netstat -an | grep LISTEN [19:39] thanks inetpro :) adding that to my library of scripts! [19:41] how do you know whats open to the internet [19:41] or how do you find them [19:42] ^ see that command inet posted Kilos [19:42] i have it running [19:42] looks like all is inside here [19:42] nothing to outside [19:42] always remember, security starts at home! [19:43] http://slexy.org/view/s2fSfOWPC4 [19:43] mine all local hey [19:43] even inside a local network at home you do not want services running on your local machine that you do not know about [19:44] would that same command show if anything was open to outside [19:44] man netstat [19:46] Kilos: on that output of yours you basically have four services running in teh background [19:46] and you are actually safe with those for a very good reason [19:47] which 4 [19:47] here is ians after lotsa remove stuffs [19:47] http://slexy.org/view/s2i2DqJ6lw [19:47] kbmonkey: Hardware failure? [19:48] nocware, why do you sy that? [19:48] Kilos: those services of yours are all bound to localhost [19:49] I'm just asking.. [19:49] inetpro, is that indicated by the 4th column, all going to 0.0.0.0? [19:50] disk utility does show a few tests failed. [19:50] nocware, I had some trouble before trying to boot off drives set as ACHI. [19:50] ians has lotsa stuffs [19:50] 127.0.0.1 = localhost [19:50] oh really? hmm yes hardware failure is a big possiblity :( [19:50] and IIRC ::1 in tcp6 is also localhost [19:50] thank you :) [19:51] kbmonkey, If it is ACHI . [19:51] how would i change that/ [19:52] nocware, if it booted before then that wont be a problem. [19:52] best you start looking for a new drive [19:52] I'll run some tests. Later [19:52] :) [19:52] new drive [19:52] try fsck the disk - file system check [19:52] Kilos: he needs to find out what is running on ports 139, 25, 445 and 4071 [19:53] sudo fsck.ext4 /dev/sda1 [19:53] how does one do that? [19:53] Kilos: sudo lsof -i:### [19:53] I need to boot into live environment [19:53] you cant check on a mounted partition, iIRC it will ask you to reboot and it will check on reboot for you [19:53] ty [19:54] or netstat -ntlp [19:54] or boot into live nocware :) [19:54] Let me boot into live [19:54] hang on nocware [19:54] run sudo touch /forcefsck and it checks on booting [19:55] oh well [19:56] how would you build pythin into a win exe kbmonkey? [19:56] python [19:56] 21:55:51) Iany: [sudo] password for ci-pc-lap1: [19:56] COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME [19:56] smbd 1022 root 28u IPv6 3725 0t0 TCP *:netbios-ssn (LISTEN) [19:56] smbd 1022 root 30u IPv4 3729 0t0 TCP *:netbios-ssn (LISTEN) [19:56] pyinstaller [19:56] magespawn: ^^ [19:57] thanks superfly [19:57] would that run on linux? [19:58] apparently you can cross-compile using WINE [19:58] kbmonkey seems to be struggling with it [19:59] kbmonkey: what you struggling with? [20:00] Kilos: that looks like samba [20:00] samba is for a server? [20:01] samba not needed in kde? [20:01] can he remove it? [20:01] samba can be very useful for hsaring files between multiple systems [20:02] or for sharing printers [20:02] but if you don't know how to use it it needs to go [20:02] so its safe then [20:02] you can introduce vulnerabilities big time [20:02] ow [20:03] if your stuff is not properly configured anyone from the interwebs can see your files [20:03] and possibly even dump and change your files [20:03] or delete [20:04] hello superfly - I was trying to compile my ludum dare game entry to a win32 binary so that the windows people can play it [20:04] windows people dont seem to know about source code XD [20:04] so is it safe to remove samba till we got irc fixed inetpro ? [20:05] http://slexy.org/view/s21GIrtleE [20:05] if havp is removed, and it looks like it is, then irc should be fine [20:05] whats the microsoft stuff in there [20:05] kbmonkey: would the compile work better on a win system? [20:06] magespawn, not better. but it bundles the dependencies in one download [20:06] samba can be used to make your PC look like a microsoft file server [20:06] as opposed to installing python and pygame seperately [20:07] Kilos: let hom run the following: sudo netstat -ntulp [20:07] still banned [20:08] Kilos: he's probably blacklisted [20:08] by irc? [20:08] kbmonkey: i can try do it here if you want [20:08] hes never online [20:08] 29/08 21:04:11 (21:03:33) Iany: You are banned from this server- Your host is an open proxy (HTTP CONNECT (8080)). Email proxyscan@freenode.net when corrected. (2013/8/29 12.35) [20:08] kbmonkey: you using PyInstaller? [20:08] blacklisted by freenode [20:08] on the plus side the recommended study time for LPIC 101 is 40 hours [20:09] http://slexy.org/view/s2fvXiVVey [20:09] he'll have to send that email [20:09] so if we average 4 hours a week 10 weeks [20:10] then we finish with it the middle of novemberish [20:11] Kilos: if he doesn't know why he needs a specific service he should not be running it [20:12] what are those proxyscan things [20:12] superfly, I tried py2exe on a work machine, but the resulting exe did not work. so now I am trying pyinstaller in WINE (have been too busy at work to play with games there) [20:12] magespawn, that would be nice if you can thank you :) [20:13] let me see what is involved to do that... [20:13] kbmonkey: I've never tried it myself, but according to one of the developers, that should work. Presuming you have all the actual Windows DLLs installed. [20:13] kbmonkey: also, you need to install 32-bit everything because WINE is 32-bit [20:13] yes, I use 32-bit everything [20:22] magespawn, not to worry, I will try pyinstaller at work tomorrow over lunch or early before work. thanks anyway :) [20:22] np would have be interesting to try [20:23] if you like you can try. I am looking at the docs now on this.. [20:23] i would need detailed instructions, being a tad clueless about this [20:26] hmm, it seems like step 1 is it builds a spec file, step 2 involves tweaking this file. I don't think it will work first time ;) [20:26] well we can have a look tomorrow then [20:27] sure thing, I will gather all my knowledge for then :) [20:27] cool beans [20:27] hehe [20:27] I did not get this far yet, failing to setup the WINE ;) [20:27] will also have adsl in the morning [20:27] ai! [20:27] I actually have wine running an mIRC bot [20:28] damn Vodacom is still as useless as ever here [20:28] oh an hi :P [20:28] he has mailed freenode inetpro [20:28] hehe [20:29] Hey [20:29] Kbmonkey? [20:29] hello [20:30] :/ [20:30] nocware, fixed? [20:30] U said it would reboot right? [20:31] Actually fsck...damaged my system... [20:31] wat? [20:31] wow [20:31] does the drive health still show as having errors? [20:31] On booting....unknown filesystem.. [20:32] oh noes :( [20:32] I'm on my phone... [20:32] :( [20:32] you should be able to boot the live cd still [20:33] Ohh well have a separate home partition.. [20:33] nocware, wait a bit [20:33] have you got backups [20:33] okay that is good at least. [20:34] nocware, have you got a external to save to [20:35] Not now, i could wait planning on getting one this week or next. [20:35] Kilos [20:35] boot the live cd, and you can split that partition into that boot,/ partitions that grub info script suggested [20:35] then we save all you packages in archives [20:36] and rsync home but dont use it till we got the drive fixed [20:37] then we format drive and partition nicely and install [20:37] maybe some corruption in there in the boot sector or something [20:37] * inetpro waves everyone a good night o/ [20:38] night inetpro ty very much [20:38] whew look at the time [20:38] Kilos: you're welcome [20:38] * Kilos bows in gratitude [20:38] bye [20:39] I'm looking at gparted and only option is well format. [20:39] gn inetpro o/ [20:39] Night inetpro [20:40] oh dear. it sounds like the partition table of the drive is missing nocware [20:40] wait noc [20:40] how big is your drive [20:41] Whole drive is 250 [20:43] ok so you must have spare space [20:43] if you look with gparted you should be able to resixe a section and make that a storage partition [20:43] ' [20:44] nocware, apparently you can recover your partition table.. [20:44] see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=370121 [20:44] Kbmonkey I'll look at it. [20:44] you do it from live cd. does live have xchat? [20:45] nocware, you on 3g or adsl uncapped [20:45] on live you can install xchat [20:46] if you can get your home back, just reinstall the os part and include that boot partition. and keep your home as it is [20:46] 3g kilos [20:46] maybe there is something corrupt in home kbmonkey [20:47] then we gotta save all downloaded packages [20:47] i do a 12.04 install and only use 20m data [20:48] but then i have a remastersys dvd [20:48] Kilos is master at saving those archives :) [20:48] inetpro: yeah, hi [20:48] 3g makes anyone good at trying to save [20:48] hi tumbleweed [20:48] you home yet? [20:48] :) kilos [20:48] yeah, got back on monday [20:48] wb tumbleweed [20:49] we gotta chat sometime please but not tonight [20:49] I'll do a clean install...I've saved packages before using aptonCd [20:50] Kilos [20:50] nocware, first go to /var/cache/apt/archives/ [20:50] aptoncd dont work with 12.04 by me [20:50] you know how to get to /archives/? nocware [20:51] home [20:51] then filesystem [20:51] then /var/cache/apt/archives/ [20:51] then on archives right click and properties [20:52] and hope youve been saving them [20:52] Ok [20:52] how many meg or gig [20:53] i got 7g of 12.04 already [20:53] hehe [20:55] that sure is a lot of download Kilos [20:56] its every package that 12.04 has used kbmonkey [20:56] nocware, I hope that recovery works. *cross fingers* [20:56] i save them all [20:56] Kilos how about testdisk to redo the file system? [20:57] testdisk from live cd? [20:57] dunno how well it works on a working drive [20:57] not sure if it is on there [20:57] you gotta install it [20:58] i think it can redo the file system, not a 100% sure though [20:58] i can ony check tomorrow [20:58] but better to work from another drive [20:59] at times its not worth all the hassles. easier to clean install [20:59] hes been battling for a week [20:59] s/ony/only [20:59] 2 or 3 hours and new install running kiff [21:00] what could have caused the boot loader to break liek that? [21:01] yeah but something bad wrong there because boot-repair always fixes boot probs [21:01] maybe a bad block even [21:02] i got a bad block command but also must use from another drive [21:03] how did you do the fsck just now nocware [21:03] from cd? [21:04] No. [21:04] My mistake [21:04] Im thinking a clean install... [21:04] have you found the archives [21:05] Nope. [21:05] do you want to save the downloaded packages? [21:06] i off to bed, good night all [21:06] night magespawn [21:06] I do have an iso with some packages...i used aptonCD [21:06] sleep tight [21:06] Night [21:06] nite magespawn o/ [21:06] Magespawn [21:07] lets try one more fsck from cd [21:07] I dont think fsck will work without a partition table Kilos [21:07] boot from cd then run sudo fsck -f /dev/sda1 [21:07] is the partition table gone [21:08] thats mbr corrupt [21:08] Yup.kbmonkey [21:08] Superblock could not be read.... [21:08] no, the mbr defines what to boot, the part table defines how your drive is partitioned [21:08] the boot sector [21:09] technically your data is still there nocware, if that recovery helps to restore the part table, you can access the data again [21:09] brub installs a bit to mbr [21:11] Superblock has an invalid journal [21:11] Inode (8) [21:11] kbmonkey [21:11] something corrupt [21:12] There is an option to clear [21:13] what are you busy doing nocware ? [21:13] nocware, do you have a largish usb stick? [21:13] kbmonkey? I don't get. [21:13] I do not understand what option to clear means [21:14] hard when the pc isnt in front of you hey [21:14] Clear? On the cli [21:14] kbmonkey [21:15] what command did you run? [21:15] Sudo fsck -f /dev/sda1 [21:16] no, dont run fsck again [21:16] it wont without a partition table [21:17] i would do it [21:17] it normally asks fix it >y [21:17] Kilos :) [21:17] haha [21:17] I'll try gpart tomorrow. [21:18] Seeing as it's late. [21:18] okay :] [21:18] ok sleep tight nocware [21:18] Thanks for the help. [21:18] Goodnight. [21:18] Kilos [21:18] probs like that keep me up all night till its fixed [21:18] kbmonkey [21:18] np [21:18] gn :) [21:19] I have something exhausting tommorow. [21:19] Tomorrow* [21:19] eish [21:19] Im seeing double already -.- [21:20] I'm [21:20] both of us [21:20] :) [21:20] Ok. [21:20] im normally asleep an hour ago [21:20] no more [21:20] Same here. [21:21] but if you wanna go on ill stay up [21:21] monkyou work tomorrow? [21:22] ai!
